GOTHAM'S DIALECT. BATTLED WITH THE FROM STATE CAPITALS It isn't" in it FROM THE SEA. A Crew Keuined After Fifty-Three Honrs of Kxtreme Peril. Niw Yonr, Jan. 6.

Th. Am erics bark Herbert Fuller, Capt. Nash, has arrived from Brunswick, Deo. 34. She brought twelve persons, consisting of Capt.

Bunker, master of the schooner Levanter, abandoned off Cape Hatt.raa last Friday; his wife and young son, and nin sailors. Th. Levanter hailed from Thoraaston, Ma. Sb. sailed from Brunswick a few days previous to th.

bark Herbert Fuller. When she arrived off Cap Hatteras, th. day after Christmas, th. wind was terriQo from th. north and east, and th.

sea rose to such an unusual height that ih. Levanter finally sprung a l.ak. At daylight on th. 27th sa. was fifty miles east of th.

cape, with six or seven feet of water in her hold. At noon the vessel became waterlogged, and the steering gear gave out, and the vessel became unmanageable. At 8 o'clock the vessel had sunk to the upper deck, and the rigging was one mass of ice, freezing thicker and thicker as the sea dashed against it. At 10 p. in.

the captain ordered all hands to lash themselves to the bousrtop, and even then the sea constantly broke Peculiarities of Pronunciation Ob. served in New York. Strangers In tho Great City Are at Ou Detected by Their Speech The Peculiar Huhlt Formed In I'ublle Schools. How many persons know that Nevi York city has a dialect of its own, and one that it maintains In purity by teaching It In the public schools? saye correspondent of the Providence Journal. Many persons have commented on the precision with which a New Yorkei can spot a stranger the instant the stranger undertakes to pronounce the names of the principal streets in the town.

We call it Broadway, emphasizing the last syllable very strongly. It appears to be quite a trick to do this and it Is evidently an unnatural pronunciation, for we notice that the very great majority of strangers say broab-wab. So we spot them on the Instant and ask them from what part of the country they hail, just to show them that there is something about them that is not cityfied. and to set them puzzling about whether it is in the shape of their hat or the style of their shoes, or what it is. People from the south betray the fact by callinpf our Houston street "Ilewston street," as that name is pronounced from Texas to the Chesapeake, but we play as strange a trick with another name; for we call Cocnties slip "Quincy slip." As no one would do that naturally wo detect strangers by that pronunciation.

The name of Ho-boken is another that we trifle with, calling it Uabbucken, instead of as we should. Hut in ways and by words other than these I can pick out a New Yorker anywhere that he and I may mfet, whether it be in Boston or in the Rocky mountains. I can do this by noticing how he pronounces the "ur" sound in such words as birth, bird, earth, heard, etc. All the rest of the country pronounce those words burth, burd, urth and hurd. Notsothe New Yorker.

He is carefully taught not to do so in all the public schools, as well as by his parents at home. The queer little twist that enters so largely into our language in marring one of the cardinal sounds that compose it is thus expressed by our tongues: Ur-yith is how we say earth; bur-yid is how we say bird. We say hur-yid for heard and mur-yid-der for murder. All of us who were born in New York have heard the public school-teacher insisting upon this peculiar twist; commanding the pupils to put on the trade mark as fighting men once wore the coat of arms of their feudal masters. Most of us, too, have heard nice, careful little girls on the way homo from school correcting careless companions by insisting that "you mm int say burd; you must say it nicely, bur-yid." (if all the senseless and unmusical bad things that are done to English that is one of the worst, because one expects to hear a language at Its best in the greatest city of a country, and thither foreigners repair to study English and then prepare to go back home and teach it with a whole lot of little tricks like that in their heads, to be solemnly taught and scattered, until no one knows where the mischief wiU end.

Of course, 1 not want the reader to understand that very nice people murder the language in these or any. other ways, but the great masses of New Yorkers, those who get their learning in the public schools and whose tongues were trained in old New York homes of the middle class these are the victims of this peculiar habit.

Y. 1 Desperate Fight at a North Carolina Lynching Bee. TWENTY-TWO KILLED OUTRIGHT. Many Others Shot, Inveral Fatally A Hok, Having Lynched a CenfeHea Mur. lar.r, Is Mat by the SUerift and Ipu-tin.

A. SanDiaary loeoiittr Knsues. Johnson Citt, Jan. 5. The facts which lad up to the terrible lynching affray in Bakersville, N.

were as follows: Aiiron Wiseman and Calvin Snipes were partners in an illicit distillery in Mitchell county, N. and had told Wm. Osborne and Isaac Osborne, two brothers, where the distillery was situated. Win. Osborua reported the distillery to the officials at Bakersville, N.

(5.. and helped them to destroy it. Wiseman and Snipes suspected Isaac Osborne as the reporter. On the night of August 27, 1803, Snipes and Wiseman armed with Winchester rifles, went to the home of Isaac Osborne and called him up. Mr.

Osborne came to the door and the culprits opened fire almost riddling him with bullets. Wiseman and Snipes were arrested but sufficient evidence could not be obtained against Wiseman and he was released. Snipes was bound by the Superior Court on purely circumstantial evidence. He was placed in jail and after being confined about two weeks, confessed to the killing in the manner above related. A mob of 400 gathered at Bakersville yesterday afternoon and at once surrounded the jail.

The sheriff barricaded the doors but the mob battered the main doors down with a log for a rain. The mob swarmed into the jail and overpowered the guards. The Sheriff refused to tell where he had secreted the keys of Snipes' oell. sWsu The door was burst in and Snipes was dragged out and in the care of the mob marched through the town and into a mountain foresc about half a mile dis taut. The Sheriff swore in half a hundred deputies, and at once started in pursuit.

He hoped to recover the prisoner, but before he reached the timber the mob had strung Snipes the limb of a tree and were pouring volleys of bullets into his body when the Sheriff and his men came up. The brave Sheriff ordered his men to arrest the ringleaders of the mob. The mob at once opened lire on the Sheriff and his men, who as quickly replied with guns and revolvers- The combatants scattered among the trees, and a regular guerrilla war bean. The battle lasted an hour or so before both sides paused to care for the wounded. The names of those of the sheriff's posse killed are as follows: J.

N. Williams, D. F. Richie, R. R.

Jones, B. Sams, R. E. Johnson, Wm. T.

N. Beckner, J. W. Laws, N. R.

8. The new House of Representatives wus called toguther by ex-Speaker Paige, who administered th. oath of office to the members. The ballot for speaker resulted as follows: Isaao W. Brooks of Torrington, 133; George M.

Dunn, 103. Speaker Brooks was sworn in by the retiring Speaker and briefly addressed the 1 toll 88. A partisan debate occurred in the Senate on a resolution notifying the retiring Governor, Mr. Bulkeley, that the Senate was ready to receive any communication that he had to make. Senator Pierce, a member of the previous Senate, objected to recoKnizing Gov.

Bulkeley by tho passage of the resolution, but it passed 13 to 11. Gov. Bulkeley notified th. Senate that he had lent $300,000 to the various departments during the past two years, and submitted vouchers for the amount. Both matters were accepted and transmitted to the House.

The Senate took a recess to 2:30 o'clock, when Gov. Morris was iuaugui at.d. Gov. Morris, in his address, urged a constitutional convention to revise the State's organic laws in accordance with the demands of the times. Tho Legislature, he said, was not representative of the people, and the constitution was obscured by too many amendments.

He continued If we are to retain popular government in Connecticut, the Constitution Bhould be so changed that the votes of the people as cast on Election day should have their full effect. It is seldom that tho executive ollicers of this State are those who have received a plurality of the people's votes. In forty of the forty-four states of tho Union, a plurality vote elects the State ofheers. In every State admitted into the Union during the present century a plurality vote elects. In this State a plurality v.i'c fleets the Presidential electors, meiiili v.

of Congress, State Senators aud resentuti ves, sheriffs and Judges of Probate. No good reason can be shown why the executive officers of the Slat, should not be elected by a plurality vote." LODGE THE WINNER. Nominated by the MiiHsaehu.etts lleriub-licann to Suceeed Sonator Dawes. Boston, Jan. 5.

The Senat. organized by the re-. lection of President Pinkerton of Worcester, and Henry I). Coolidge as Clerk. In th.

President Pinkerton of the Senat presided. Senator Butler, leader of the Crapo forces, asked why the members were in such haste to bold this caucus. The vote for senator could not be taken until January 17 and he asked that an adjournment be taken to January 12. Several other speakers discussed the ques tion, but a motion to adjourn was finally lost 124 to 40, aad by a vote of 143 to 31 tbe caucus proceeded to ballot.
